I've been seeing this provider for some years now and I'd highly recommend her to any woman seeking gynecological care. She's friendly, courteous, experienced, very knowledgeable and relatable. She also does a wonderful job in explaining everything so that I'm aware of everything. She has excellent bedside manner and I've never felt that she's rushing along. She's also very thorough.
